Geoffroy/VariousPile-Up: Volume One

And here we have it: house music in 2005. This mix from Mugwump is probably the best document of where the progressive house backlash has gotten us. Pseudo-analogue soft synths and tech-y melodies, a heavy dash of the 80s, and there you go  think Mylo. Strangely it doesnt seem to be sure of whether its a dance floor mix or a home listening mix. Starting off with Mugwumps mix of Jeff Bennetts "Sitting Bull, a classy nightclub rocking track, things move to the more eclectic for a few tracks before getting more ass-shaking with "Deadly Dub by Optimus. By mid-disc its decided what it wants to be and we start to have something pretty good. From Mugwumps own "Mudcleaner, things get all acid house, whipping out the 303 lines for a retro feel. Will this be the sound of a couple of years from now? No, probably not. But if you havent bought a mix disc since Global Underground 9, give this a listen to get caught up.
